summer sandal refashion-tribal chic

these are my new summer sandals!!!  i am so excited about them!  i got them at walmart last season for $3...i bought every color they had! haha.  i eventually got bored of how plain they were so i decided to dress them up a bit.  they were really easy to make and everything i needed to make them i already had in my craft stash!  i LOVE free crafts! i also am really loving picnik right now.  just in case you arent familiar with it, its a free site where you can touch up photos and make collages!  i made the picture up above which by the way took me like 3 minutes and i also made my new header!

1. first i found an old sandal that needs some lovin!  i chose my yellow ones
2. then i spray painted them all white.  i stuffed some paper where i didnt want white...i didnt do a good enough job though cause you can still see white.  haha oh well you cant see it when im wearing them!  then i cut off excess straps that i didnt want.
3. i cut strips large enough to cover the small straps and i hot glued them on.
4. then i cut out eight circles of the green fabric and i cut slits into them.  after i cut them i burned the edges with a lighter...the slits helped it to look more like a flower and less like a plain circle.  i hot glued the flowers onto the middle of the sandal and put pearls in the middle of the flowers (also with hot glue).
5. lastly i cut and glued tan circles and put a single pearl in the middle, i also hot glues the feathers on and threaded the ribbon for the ankle ties.

that is all you do!  it is sooo easy and i think they look store bought!  thanks for stopping by!
